The Power of Love

We win the war to stop abortion in Australia by using completely different tactics than our enemy – the way of love. We inquire of the Lord and we endeavour to know Him in a deep loving way. We learn what a faithful, powerful, relentless lover of our souls He really is.

“Those who are loved by God, let his love continually pour from you to one another, because God is love. Everyone who loves is fathered by God and experiences an intimate knowledge of him.”
~ 1 John 4:7 TPT

Scott Morrison said it clearly: the Church needs more love, less judgment.

More love is a weapon of such power that it completely confounds and enrages the enemy. He hates the lovers of God — when they love they carry a realm of such goodness, kindness, peace, joy, patience, gentleness, faithfulness and self-control. We carry hope in the Lord and influence those around us with effective power to change hearts.

“Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.”
~ Romans 5:5 NKJV

Gratitude Overflows as a Mighty Love Tsunami

For God has proved His love by giving us His greatest treasure,
the gift of His Son.
And since God freely offered Him up as the sacrifice for us all,
He certainly won’t withhold from us anything else He has to give.
~ Romans 8:32 TPT

We have love in our hearts as we appreciate the cross and remember all Christ has done for us. We realise we have been forgiven much – the fragrance of love then pours out of us like a fragrant love offering to Jesus, as we choose to release the most potent weapon, LOVE.

For we are to God a sweet fragrance of Christ among those who are saved and among those who perish.
~ 2 Cor 2:15 MEV

When the silent Australians start to speak words that carry pure love without hidden agenda, we will see things shift in our nation like a mighty Tsunami — abortion bills defeated, euthanasia stopped, addictions broken, suicide rates diminish, prostitution and pornography are abandoned.

When the Ekklesia arise and recognise Whom they carry in their hearts, and make Him known with or without words by the consecrated intention of loving others, then something will break open over this nation that will be uncontainable.

You become my delicious feast even when my enemies dare to fight. You anoint me with the fragrance of Your Holy Spirit; You give me all I can drink of You until my heart overflows.
~ Psalm 23:5 TPT

The last census showed Christianity is still the main religion in Australia, with 12 million people, and 86 per cent of religious Australians, identifying as Christians. Imagine if Christ who dwells within each one began to pour out of us with His fragrant love to the community around us in such measure that it created a shift for life in this nation. With His Spirit flooding our land comes wisdom, understanding, fear of the Lord, knowledge, might, and counsel to infiltrate how we legislate, educate, do business, relate as family, thrive economically, what we produce, eat and how we love.

It has already started a tsunami of love.

Watch: This Oroville (California) video helps convey something of the Ekklesia vision to see God’s love transform a region.

Worship:

Prayer: Father, Thank You that You loved the world so much, You sent Your Son to die to redeem each one of us. Now Lord, help us to love with incredible passion for the lost. This week Lord, we ask for salvation for key people who will be catalysts for change with all that needs changing in this nation. Thank You for all You have done to give more time to stop the abortion bill in SA. We ask for grace to hear the strategy and implement the blueprints to defeat the bill entirely. Lord, set up a block to the SA abortion bill. Let Your fragrance of life draw many lost into Your kingdom, and bring them from death to life in You. May all Your people, the Ekklesia, bring radical change to society to shift this nation to righteousness. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Prayer for the Elected Members of Parliament:
We pray for the Premier of South Australia, Steven Spence Marshall, Leader of the Liberal Party and Member for Dunstan. We pray for Steven, knowing that he has a Christian background, that the Holy Spirit would water the Word of God that has taken seed in his heart. Father, we ask that Your purpose for positioning Steven at this time be made clear to him, reminding him of the precious nature of each and every child, and strengthen his father’s heart to defend life. We ask for wisdom for Steven that may cause him to make political decisions in fear of the Lord alone. We bless him to take a stand for righteousness, and pray that his name be imprinted in South Australian history as the Premier who lead the way to defend life in the womb.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Prayer Points:

• That every blockage to the Tsunami of love pouring out of the hearts of all Christians be unstopped, and pure love flow to those who are being saved.
• Ask that salvation comes now to so many influential people, politicians, lawyers, educators, and make disciples of all people. Brings radical cultural change in our nation in the next five years, that people will look back and see a great shift for righteousness, justice, mercy and life for the unborn has overtaken abortion in our nation.
• That all Christians will ‘recover’ time to read the word of God and meditate on it day and night, and they be equipped with all that is given to know the Lord, and be used mightily by Him to activate the change in culture from darkness to light in every sphere.

Spend time today listening to our Father — hear what is on His heart concerning abortion in our nation.

His mercy endures forever!

Today we stand together as one in prayer and fasting for grace to:

• STOP the Greens Abortion Reform Bill from being passed in South Australia’s Parliament.
• Bring radical amendments to the existing Abortion Law in favour of life for the unborn and safeguards for mothers.
• Push Back and eventually STOP Abortion in every state and territory in Australia.
• SHIFT the culture of this Nation to the Kingdom of Heaven with Mercy, Peace, Righteousness and Justice on earth as it is in Heaven.
